This was on Chicago sports talk radio. He said that Lovie was totally disconnected from the community, alums, fanbase, and not that into recruiting. Not going to build a program that way. In fact, apparently, Lovie didn't even buy a house in Champaign. He rented a condo. Find a Midwesterner who understands Midwest recruiting, especially Illinois, and double especially Chicago. Make those high school contacts again. Stay away from the high profile guy from the south.
